There's An Expo Coming to Town!

My town that is, Sacramento to be specific. Am I excited? Boy howdy am I!

I have never had a genealogy conference happen right in my backyard before this which adds to my glee. In addition, the conference is being held at a venue I've been to several times over the years (most recently this past February). Talk about stars aligning!

I'd be happy to answer any blogging questions at the Expo anyone might have, as I'm sure the other excellent bloggers who will be there would be as well. I'd also be happy to answer any Sacramento related questions (if you want to take any side trips I'd recommend the Crocker Art Museum, visiting Old Sacramento and maybe taking one of their tours, the Old City Cemetery, Sutter's Fort and, of course, the capitol building - where I'm sure there will be a protest of some sort you could take part in. For food, my picks would be Gunther's Ice Cream or dining al fresco at the Tower Cafe, and Corti Brother's also makes a pretty awesome sandwich).

I'll be at the Expo and I hope you will to: it is only $69 if you register now, $99 at the door.

Disclosure: I will be a Blogger of Honor at the event and as such I received a complementary registration, promotion of my blog by Family History Expos, Inc. as well as a gift bag from them. I have purchased RootsMagic 4 and 5. I like it, it is my software of choice, but I have no affiliation with RootsMagic. Likewise, I have no affiliation with any of the other people/organizations/companies mentioned or linked to in this post. Beyond what I received from Family History Expos, Inc. I have received no further remuneration for writing this post by anyone.
